And that right there is the difference between Facebook and Twitter. Twitter is open and accessible to all by default (unless you protect your tweets), meaning you can use the data in number of interesting ways. Facebook is closed unless you give people access. Meaning that only Facebook itself can do anything meaningful with the data. And even then it’s likely to inspire the sort of...

The ability to auto-render on a macro scale from micro images. A big reveal. This could be immensely powerful.
HBO Imagine →
Really good interactive work for HBO from Barbarian with an intricate multilayered storyline behind it. A lack of a plot-line is where Voyeur, the last big HBO site, fell down.
Voyeur reminded me of Perec’s Life A User Manual, with its multiple, interconnected storylines across an open-faced apartment block. This is Robbe-Grillet’s Jealousy, with physical points of view dictating how...

When I look at this phenomenon and the quality of ideas that we’ve gotten from the crowd it’s a bit shocking, and, in some ways, scary. But any time something scares me it compels me to lean further into it.
A good rationale for crowdsourcing (a term I have to say I loathe).
PS3 Accounts For Ten Per Cent Of BBC iPlayer... →
The PS3 version of the BBC iPlayer, which launched on September 1 as part of the console’s most recent firmware update, already accounts for ten per cent of all iPlayer viewing, the public service broadcaster has said.
10% of iPlayer viewings in the space of 9 days since launching. That’s quite amazing. As if we needed telling, the future of online so clearly isn’t the computer.
Introducing News Dots - By Chris Wilson - Slate... →
Like Kevin Bacon’s co-stars, topics in the news are all connected by degrees of separation. To examine how every story fits together, News Dots visualizes the most recent topics in the news as a giant social network. Subjects—represented by the circles below—are connected to one another if they appear together in at least two stories, and the size of the dot is proportional to the total...

The slightly pointless do they-don’t they argument rumbles on.
The ‘how I use twitter’ comments from yer average (older) user are more revealing than the piece itself. Within the (albeit self-selecting) tech crunch audience, twitter is all about professional networks and link-sharing. Facebook is the preferred tool for status updates and communicating with friends.

As the field has expanded, so its definition has been stretched. Manuel Lima wants to be a bit stricter with what counts as data visualistion to protect the integrity of the discipline. The comments are interesting too.

The Greying of Social Media - Telegraph Blogs →
Finally some good news from the world wide web: social media is greying. US analytics group Forrester Research issued a report on Tuesday which revealed that engagement in social networks by people aged between 35 and 54 shot up 60% last year. While web research firm comScore reports that only 11% of Twitter users are between 12 and 17 - the traditional sweet spot of social media early adoption....
